Carson's, Chicago

It is time to put aside your table manners. When you eat at Carson's Ribs, you will need to wear a bib and lick your fingers. Famous for buckets of baby-back ribs smothered in barbecue sauce and succulent prime-cut steaks, this chophouse is one of the best and definitely the messiest in town. If you would rather not be seen in public with barbecue sauce dripping from your fingers, carry-out is available.
